To who? The same Google engineers that can't fix my Marketplace stats since December? http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=4c5752ca3e5af4ff&hl=en I have zero faith in these people fixing anything except what interests them. > The way GC works, GC work should be triggered by any allocation that > needs more memory (incremental algorithms trigger some amount of GC > work on each allocation, non-incremental algorithms do ALL the work in > this situation).

I don't care what the exception is, I just need it to do some GC and try again. My code does exactly that, as simple as I can think to do it. Not changing it anytime soon. > Exception.

Again, my try/catch isn't for that, it's for a retry. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
